A LOOK BACK AT THE HISTORY OF KENTFIELD, CA

Kentfield was originally named after Albert Kent, an early meat packer from Chicago who settled in the area back in the late 1800s. Today, the Kent family is still well-known throughout much of the community largely because of their generous donation of land for the development of a local recreation center, which is now home to the College of Marin. For younger students living in Kentfield, though, the Kentfield School District serves much of the area, which consists of the Anthony G. Bacich Elementary School and the Adeline E. Kent Middle School. Furthermore, most high school students living in Kentfield attend either Marin Catholic High School or Redwood High School in nearby Larkspur.

LIVING IN KENTFIELD

Although Kentfield has a population of over 6,000 people, much of the area is still mostly residential. The few restaurants, cafes, and other commercial developments you’ll find in town mostly sit along College Avenue near the College of Marin, with of course a few of other options also scattered throughout the rest of the Kentfield community. For most local home owners, though, the quiet residential atmosphere is precisely what brought them to the area in the first place, so the relaxed setting that’s almost sleepy in some ways is exactly what many residents like about living here most.
